Do you have any tips for keeping your knees and thighs on a horse?

I have been riding (english hunter/jumper) for a while and can't seem to heep my knees on my horse. Do you have any tips or exercises to do on and off of the horse? I already tried placing a $1 bill between my thighs and the saddle and attempting to keep it there but it fell out. Thanks!

Try lengthening your stirrup and do leg stretching exercises as you warm up. To create proper leg position with my riders I put them on a lunge line and take away stirrups and reins. I tell them to start with their toes and to tap out a song, then we work on flexing the ankle, toes up, toes down, toes out, and scribing circles with their foot, clockwise and counter clockwise. Then the knees, bringing the leg forward and backward from the knee then again scribing circles, this time with their entire lower leg. Next is the hips, lifting them up perpendicular to the horse then slowly lowering them back down and swinging the entire leg back and forth slowly. After this, I ask them to 'take their stirrups again' and no I don't give them back, I want them to drape their leg as though it is in a stirrup while I continue with their upper body, but for you the leg is more important so work on this, as long as your horse is calm you can do this while you ride and keep your reins.
